Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  Tests for voltage at the voltage supply side of the low beam headlamp driver module.
  2. 4:  Verifies that the body control module (BCM) is providing PWM ground to the low beam headlamp driver module.
  3. 5:  Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the low beam headlamp driver module.
  4. 6:  Tests if there is opposing voltage present or an open low beam headlamp driver module control circuit.
  5. 12:  After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, command the low beams ON and OFF.
Does the low beam headlamp driver module turn ON and OFF with each command?
Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the low beam headlamp driver module.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Probe the battery positive voltage circuit of the low beam headlamp driver module with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 4  Go to Step 10 
  1. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the low beam headlamp driver module and the battery positive voltage circuit of the low beam headlamp driver module.
  2. With a scan tool, command the low beam headlamp driver module ON and OFF.
Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?
Go to Step 8  Go to Step 5 
Does the test lamp remain illuminated with each command? Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
Test the control circuit of the low beam headlamp driver module for a short to voltage or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
7 Test the control circuit of the low beam headlamp driver module for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
